The SELEDA Biogas and Fertilizer Integrated Plant in K\u0131rklareli is practically massacring by pouring the wastes it carries to M\u00fcsellim Creek by vacuum trucks. Fish deaths occur frequently in the black flowing stream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The facility has been poisoning the environment for years<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the village of M\u00fcsellim in the Babaeski District of K\u0131rklareli, a massacre is carried out by SELEDA Biogas Energy. According to the claim of the villagers, the wastes brought by the sewage truck by the SELEDA Biogas and Fertilizer Integrated Facility established in Kumrular Village are dumped into the village’s vital source, M\u00fcsellim Creek. These spilled wastes cause the stream to run black and frequent fish deaths. The villagers, who make their living with agriculture and animal husbandry, are reactive to this massacre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stating that the facility was established in the region in 2017, M\u00fcsellim Village Headman Sabahat Bozkurt said, \u201cWe have repeatedly made complaints to K\u0131rklareli Gendarmerie Command, Babaeski Agriculture and Forestry Directorate and K\u0131rklareli Provincial Directorate of Environment and Urbanization regarding the environmental pollution. Everyone avoided us by saying that it is not our responsibility. As a result of our insistence, it was said that the company was fined twice by the K\u0131rklareli Provincial Directorate of Environment and Urbanization. However, the company continues to pollute our stream and kill our fish \u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
THE STREET IS FLOWING SYMBOL<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Noting that the company releases waste to the stream with sewage trucks intermittently, Bozkurt said, \u201cAfter the establishment of the facility, our stream started to flow black. Waste is dumped into the stream with sewage trucks. The stream flows clean as it comes from other villages. However, because of the wastes spilled in the village of Musellim, he used the expressions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
FACILITY DISABLED<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Claiming that the facility did not activate the treatment facilities, Bozkurt said, \u201cI put the dead fish in jars and went to meet with the company. They said, \u00ab\u00a0We will take precautions in this regard and even our treatment plant will be activated\u00a0\u00bb. Is this facility not established to prevent environmental pollution caused by the irregular release of wastes to the nature? \u00a0\u00bb he reacted by asking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
ANIMALS MAKE LOW<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Emphasizing the victimization experienced by the villagers, Bozkurt continued his words as follows: \u201cI wake up to a phone every morning. \u00ab\u00a0Have you seen the state of the stream?\u00a0\u00bb We will start a signature campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
